In the second year after the establishment of Tuen Mun's Gok Uk Psychiatric Hospital, a highly contagious skin disease suddenly broke out there. The district government decided to establish a leprosy management center, later renamed Gok Uk Leprosarium. It was abandoned in 1965, after which rumors of hauntings began to spread.
In 1992, a group of young people trespassed into the leprosarium in search of thrills and called the radio station's "Horror Hotline" to brag about it. Before long, a woman's sobbing could be heard over what had been a normal call. Five days later, police received a report that the entire group had gone missing.
Liang Zhengyu, a reporter for the New Daily, was looking for news about the "disappearances at a haunted site." A friend recommended Lin Wentang, who handled environmental management work at Beautiful Property Agency Limited.
With the keys in hand, the two of them broke into the restricted area. In a book titled The Maria Church Exists to Sing of Freedom and Liberate the Soul, they unexpectedly discovered a long-buried, tragic story.
A woman who banged her head against a wall to kill herself, faint sobbing from the treatment room, a figure wandering the hospital wards, a generator room engulfed in flames, the Maria Church where people placed their spiritual fantasies, attempts to save themselves...
Piece by piece, the fragments of the incident are assembled into a whole.
Will the evildoers who committed such terrible crimes eventually face judgment? After learning the shocking truths hidden within, would they still have chosen to enter this building?
Stay alive. Get out. Keep going until the crying stops.

Hong Kong-style horror // The logic makes no sense, don't overthink it // Little romance
The story is fictional. Please don't associate it with real life.
Theme: Treasure the present. Live without regrets.
Ah? Huang who turned into a ghost is back again, does my sister know?
Ahhhhhh??? So my sister has been staying with Huang Dezhi's dead body these days????
I don't understand. Did Liang die first? The interweaving felt confusing and I didn't understand it so I cut the angle.
Murderers can be sent abroad for heart surgery without going to jail. Who will pay for it? They will brag about anything in order to solve the case.
It's finally over. The young couple had a bitter ending 😭, but it was wonderful to be together as ghosts 🥺 my sister also died in the end 😭 😭 😭 The ending is really cruel, I cried while watching it
After watching it, it was so painful, everyone was in agony 😭 😭
Forget it, then I can chase it with no worries [star eye][star eye]
How did Liang die? What happened when you went out to find medicine for Lin? How did Lin die? Wasn't he pushed out of the basement by Liang's ghost? What happened next? Why did he die suddenly? The author wrote it well, but I was still confused about their deaths.
Although it felt like it ended a bit suddenly, I still liked this book...
I watched the follow-up again after three months. I had basically forgotten the details, but I didn't have the courage to watch it again. It was very tragic and sad, so after watching the ending, I felt very confused and couldn't understand the timeline.
